design + energy + excellence
As the year comes to a close, our office will be taking a break to enjoy the Christmas season. We will be closed from December 20th to January 4th, reopening on Monday, January 5th.
We would like to thank all of our clients, collaborators, and partners for their continued support throughout the year. It has been a pleasure working with you, and we look forward to the projects and opportunities ahead in 2026.
We wish you a very Happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year.
We’re proud to share that our practice has been awarded the new RIAI ‘Practice Code’ mark — a recognition that reflects our ongoing commitment to the highest standards of professional conduct and service.
The Practice Code is a mark of quality developed by the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland (RIAI). It is awarded to accredited architectural practices that not only meet a defined set of professional standards, but also actively choose to champion excellence in the way they work — both internally, in how they support their teams, and externally, in the services they deliver to clients and communities.
To be awarded the RIAI Practice Code Mark, architectural practices must declare and maintain compliance with the RIAI Code of Conduct for Architectural Practices and meet a detailed set of Accreditation Criteria. These cover areas such as professional integrity, competence, transparent communications, responsible practice management, and a consistently high standard of architectural service. It also recognises a practice’s contribution to the wider public good — a reminder that good architecture is not only about design, but about long-term value, sustainability, and ethical responsibility.
By choosing to adopt the Practice Code, we are making a clear statement to our clients, collaborators, and the public: we are committed to excellence, integrity, and accountability in everything we do.
We’re honoured to receive this recognition and look forward to continuing to uphold the principles it represents.
We’re officially out of office for our annual summer break!
It is a chance to step away from screens, soak up some inspiration, and return refreshed.
Our office will be closed from July 12th to July 27th, and we’ll be back, pencils sharpened, on July 28th.
In the meantime, we wish you a restful, sun-drenched summer, and look forward to reconnecting soon!
